This piece is a answer to my protection prayers. Some people have a cross, others a painting of Jesus and so on. I'd like to think that this vejigante mask keeps me and my surroundings safe. Its's a lino block i made this week. Finally i get to be productive! for those of you who were worried about my dog jake, he's doing so much better! maybe the vejigante will keep us from harms way.

I've always wanted, in my art collection, a piece by the late Manuel Hernandez Acevedo. I was offered a silkscreen by this great artist and i had to get this deal done. In order for the deal to happen i would have to paint a commissioned piece of a sailboat. I like to paint sailboats... it's a win win. I'm not really pleased with this piece but i have to admit those blue colors make me want to go to the beach and relax.
